Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash
4.0
Truthfully, I have no idea what to say about this book. In simple terms, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the characters and the story, but it didn't feel like anything groundbreaking happened and it might not stick with me too long. Do I think it's worth the read, I absolutely do, but it won't be topping any lists.
There are POV's from every single character more or less in this book and I found it to be a little too much. It was interesting to get the perspective of everyone, to see the story unfold through everyones eyes, but for a while it's hard to follow and doesn't allow the reader to fully connect with any one character as it bounces so much.
Most of this book is very sad, not only because it's based during wartime, but just the trials and tribulations that the family and characters endure throughout the time we spend with them. The third part of the book was a little disjointed from the rest of the book in my opinion, and I'm not totally sure I love the way it played out, but I did thoroughly enjoy it overall.
